We rented a house where the previous tenant had let the oil run dry and then made a complete balls up of bleeding it. Result: within a few days of moving in, the smell of kerosene was quite strong, then it started seeping up through the parquet flooring in the sitting room, hall and dining room, all our clothes stank of it, landlord eventually got builders in to dig it out and bury the remains under epoxy and concrete. Didn’t sort it out. We moved out, and the house then stood empty for several months, possibly a couple of years. I wonder if the new tenants are happy. Apart from that, and the main road belting past 3 feet from the front windows, and the absence of neighbours, it was not a bad house. But glad we didn’t own it.
